The Truth About Online Gambling

Many players believe that online gambling is illegal in the US but the truth is that the UIGEA doesn’t say that online gambling is illegal, it just prohibit any financial transaction between an online gambling company and any financial institutions (like banks), so when someone gambles at any online casino or poker room, he or she  is not doing anything illegal. This means that the US Federal Government can’t condemn any citizen for playing at online casinos or online poker rooms.

Many players think that online casinos are not trustworthy, that the security is easy to breach, or that they will never see their winnings in their bank accounts. There are a lot of misconceptions about the safety and reliability of online casinos but the truth is that most of them have passed several analysis, audits and anti-fraud test before being launched to the market.
